That was a very good observation about Portis, he's tried to bulk up into more of a power back to fit in with Gibbs style running game, but I have been thinking the same thing, I just wasen't sure if he only seemed a little slower because he looks bigger this year.

No matter how much weight he puts on he's just not ever going to be a power back, I agree w/Tony he should shed the weight, his speed and quickness are his best attributes, I don't believe Portis has really adjusted to the weight as well, we all have seen him stumbling or falling with no one around, his agility is not there. I commend him on the hard work he put in to try to fit in with Gibbs running style, but it seems it may be a failed experiement.

Thank for your keen insight Tony!
